nucmednet Chapter 9 is now terrifyingly strong.
Chapter 9 is now terrifyingly strong.
The bus was quiet.
The sound of the air conditioning mingled with a heavy breathing.
Gu Xinglan calmed herself down and looked out the car window expressionlessly.
The show's guests include popular actors, well-regarded veteran actors, and rising idols.
As I watched, a feeling of grievance welled up in my heart.
He shook his head.
The emotions portrayed by this character are so real that they leave one feeling utterly powerless.
What's yours can't be taken away from you, and what can be taken away shouldn't be clung to too much, since it never truly belonged to you in the first place.
You need to recognize your own uniqueness.
After the Shenhua Hall opened, the number of people outside gradually decreased.
Lu Yinian, one of the event organizers, was worried about Gu Xinglan, so he gave her a lunchbox and a few candies before rushing over.
The insulated lunchbox happened to be given to him by the child surnamed Geng.
Gu Xinglan had no appetite.
After sucking on a piece of candy, he leaned against the car window in a daze.
I heard a rumbling sound from my stomach.
Gu Xinglan didn't react.
A few more sounds rang out, and he looked back in the direction of the sound.
He met a pair of empty eyes.
When their eyes met, neither Li nor Tai showed any intention of looking away.
Gu Xinglan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out."
After he finished speaking, the air froze.
Li Hetai lowered his eyes, but showed no sign of backing down.
Gu Xinglan opened the lunchbox, and a delicious aroma immediately wafted out.
The lunchbox was still steaming hot.
Li Hetai's hunger sparked his desire to eat.
Seeing that this person is hungry while he has food to eat is the same principle as seeing beauty as food.
Gu Xinglan took a bite of the crispy tofu, which was fried to perfection.
The rumbling of hunger echoed in my ears again.
Like him, Li Hetai also didn't eat breakfast.
"System, how much time do I have left?"
System: [Twenty-five, keep up the good work!]
Gu Xinglan got up and moved to the back seat, with only one chair between them.
Using wooden chopsticks, I picked up the crispy pork and slowly put it into my mouth, letting the aroma permeate every part of my mouth.
System: [...Mission complete, elimination time extended to a total of twenty-seven hours.]
After taking a couple of bites, the car door opened with a "whoosh".
Lu Yinian, sweating profusely and beaming with excitement, exclaimed, "Gu Xinglan, you've been blessed with a stroke of good fortune!"
With half of her food in her mouth, Gu Xinglan looked at Lu Yinian's overly excited face, and then heard:
"The script has been changed at the last minute, it's your turn to play!"
Variety shows have scripts, and everyone follows a specific storyline.
There's still more than half an hour until the second half, and he needs to memorize these lines within that time.
Gu Xinglan put the boxed lunch aside, and Lu Yinian stuffed a yellow book into her arms.
"Are you sure you can do it?" Lu Yinian would sometimes brush aside his bangs and sometimes check the temperature on his forehead.
"Since you can still eat and drink, you should prepare well. We'll go out for a big meal after this is over."
Wait a minute, can a filming script be changed so easily?
Gu Xinglan's brow twitched.
System: [The target of the mission has been detected nearby. We are providing you with an upgrade card. Wearing it will enhance your various abilities and help you overcome difficulties.]
"How to say?"
System: [For a storyline involving a wicked stepmother, we suggest you refer to the story of the stepmother in Snow White; see the section on the poisoned apple for details.]
Gu Xinglan looked at the lunchbox in her hand.
"Li Hetai".
Suddenly, he called out to the person next to him.
Gu Xinglan stood up, carrying Lu Yinian on her back, and approached indifferently, a sense of oppression immediately appearing in her eyes: "Find a dog and feed it this food."
His feet could now dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room space.
Wushui City has strict pet management regulations, and even stricter management of stray animals, so there are no stray dogs in the vicinity.
It goes without saying who the dog is.
Facing those oppressive eyes, Li Hetai showed not the slightest fear.
Gu Xinglan swallowed almost imperceptibly and added, "And my clothes from this morning, no matter where you threw them, I want to see them all intact before my eyes by four o'clock this afternoon."
When the topic of clothes came up, Li Hetai merely flinched a few times.
A subtle awkwardness hung between the two of them.
"System, is it going to work?"
System: [Completion not shown here.]
After Lu Yinian finished making a phone call with the stage manager, she couldn't hide her excitement: "Gu Xinglan, don't worry about your lunchbox, let's go."
Gu Xinglan hardened her heart and stuffed half a shrimp into Li Hetai's mouth.
He is not the Queen, Li Hetai is not Snow White, and the shrimp is not the poisoned apple. Without the Queen's deception of Snow White, he would treat this person the way he did in his previous life.
A subtle sense of pleasure welled up inside me.
It felt like a caged bird finally enjoying freedom after being imprisoned for a long time.
After the shrimp was put into his mouth, his fingertips left Li Hetai's face.
System: [Congratulations, you have received an upgrade card.]
[Automatic matching in progress, match successful... Host]
[Courage +4]
[Communication +5]
[Strain +5]
[Language expression +10]
[Image and temperament +?]
[Since this is your first time obtaining an upgrade card, this system is also gifting you a lucky charm. Within a five-meter radius of you, your luck will increase by 10. This charm can be obtained by "completing a task".]
……
There is only one person on the bus now.
The person in the back seat sat quietly, holding a slightly steaming lunchbox.
The air was filled with the aroma of food and a faint, hook-like body fragrance.
It was the smell emanating from those two fingertips pinching his face.
Li Hetai silently gazed out the car window.
The figure was no longer visible outside.
As if to refute his faint sense of emptiness, a bird perched on a branch not far away, the low-hanging branch completely blocking his view.
The sound of footsteps pounding suddenly rang out; they rushed out and rushed back, almost mingling with their heartbeats. From afar to near, in an instant, almost everything in sight turned colorful.
The man in the gray suit returned, his expression vivid. A clear, bright voice rang in his ears: "Wait for me at the door at four o'clock this afternoon. If you dare to leave without permission, you can forget about having dinner when you get back."
System: [Task completed, received a lucky charm, currently being equipped, successfully equipped.]
Gu Xinglan: ...
After completing the task, he walked away.
The second half will begin in 20 minutes.
The director was explaining the filming process and procedures to several guests, especially the safety precautions.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of the person approaching.
Gu Xinglan was being pulled over by Lu Yinian, facing the light as if she wanted to merge with it, and the places she walked through seemed to come alive.
The surrounding conversations suddenly subsided, and eyes followed that gray figure.
The assistant director who had just disappeared also reappeared on set.
Seeing Gu Xinglan approaching, the assistant director hurried over.
"Hey, Xiao Lan, have you memorized your lines?"
Gu Xinglan nodded.
As soon as the assistant director left, the director came over again and began to explain the safety and precautions for the second half of the film.
The show's producers also came over to talk about the highlights of the segment.
These things were all written in the script, so there was no need to specifically mention them to him.
Gu Xinglan raised her eyebrows slightly.
An hour ago, these people were either sullen or nowhere to be seen, but now they've suddenly become very attentive, which makes him quite uncomfortable.
Looking at the gray suits that were surrounded in the distance, Geng Yi nodded in satisfaction.
Finally, a familiar face showed up.
The group of children in the camera were all incredibly cute.
System: [Lucky Charm Activated!]
Intuition became so vivid that Gu Xinglan picked several children based on her suddenly terrifyingly strong intuition.
The children are just going through the motions; there's no script.
The second half mainly consisted of games, allowing participants to experience the process of making and designing suits. The guests were rewarded with funds for their next travel destination, while the children received teddy bears dressed in suits as gifts.
The drunkard doesn't mean wine.
As soon as the cameras were turned on, the program guests, who had been looking rather indifferent, suddenly became energetic and lively, each one more vibrant than the last.
Interestingly, during the game, the teams that stood near the host had an incredibly smooth run.
When it came time to call on the children to speak on stage, Gu Xinglan scanned them one by one.
When his gaze fell upon Geng Yi.
Gu Xinglan thought of the lunchbox and was about to ask someone to come up.
But my intuition didn't react.
Gu Xinglan hesitated.
He has been on edge from the beginning until now.
Becoming a presenter is harder than passing the ICF exam.
Upgrade cards and lucky charms are his biggest support until now.
Under Geng Yi's expectant gaze, Gu Xinglan gritted her teeth and ignored him.
My gaze fell upon another child.
The child's eyes were big and bright, like two crystal-clear glass beads, and they looked at him expectantly.
If he remembers correctly, her name is Yu Jin, right?
The children who had a very high appearance rate in the first half.
Seeing that his intuition didn't react, Gu Xinglan skipped it again.
Until their eyes met those of a chubby, fair-skinned child.
When Pengfei was invited up, he was first shocked, then excited and happy.
No wonder Brother Geng asked him to find a relative to replace the host; it turns out he wanted to get more exposure. There must be a reason why Brother Geng did this!
Pengfei hopped excitedly onto the stage and opened his mouth with great enthusiasm.
The producer offstage stared in shock at the child on stage. Was this the same spoiled young master who had just been throwing tantrums and threatening him?
Filming was originally scheduled to end at 4 PM, but some guests were dissatisfied with the embarrassing result of losing the game and demanded a reshoot.
The filming of the program didn't finish until 4:30.
Gu Xinglan was covered in sweat, but the moment she stepped out of Shenhua Hall, she was full of energy. Her brows relaxed, her eyes brightened, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
System: [Congratulations, you have successfully overcome the difficulty.]
